[0002] With the increasing frequency of offshore and overseas activities, floating platforms are needed to provide temporary rescue services for people in distress before rescue teams arrive. Current floating platforms primarily rely on air-dropped lifeboats and liferafts, which suffer from limitations such as limited capacity, poor adaptability to sea conditions, and insufficient emergency treatment capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a large-scale, highly wave-resistant, survival and rescue floating platform that can be used normally no matter which side contacts the water surface, can accommodate a large number of people at the same time, has high adaptability to sea conditions, has strong emergency treatment capabilities, and can be used in combination.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention:

[0005] A modular large-scale, highly wave-resistant survival and rescue floating platform comprises a platform body, the platform body comprising enclosures, enclosure inner supports located at the upper and lower parts of the enclosure, columns connected between the upper and lower enclosure inner supports, a deck located outside the upper and lower enclosure inner supports, water bags with water inlets distributed at the upper and lower ends of the enclosure, and curtains with waterproof zippers distributed at the boarding openings around the middle of the enclosure; a high-pressure gas cylinder for inflating the enclosure is installed on the outside of the platform body, and a manual inflation mechanism for inflating the columns and the enclosure inner supports is provided inside; a boarding accessory for boarding, a connecting accessory for connecting to other platform bodies, a sea anchor for wave resistance, and an operating rope are attached to the outside of the platform body; in the initial state, the platform body is folded and placed on and connected to a lifesaving equipment box, and the two are sealed together by a packaging bag, one part of the operating rope is connected to the opening part of the high-pressure gas cylinder, and the other part extends out of the packaging bag and is connected to the unsealed part on the packaging bag.

[0006] Furthermore, the high-pressure gas cylinder is connected to the air inlet valve on the enclosure through a hose, and the enclosure is provided with a charging and discharging valve and a safety valve.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting accessories include connecting rings attached to the outside of the platform body, connecting belts connected between the connecting rings, and locks provided on the connecting belts, and the connecting belts are located near the boarding entrance.

[0008] Furthermore, the enclosure includes multiple layers of connected and communicating buoys.

[0009] Furthermore, life-saving rations, drinking water, first-aid medicines, and first-aid medical equipment are placed in the life-saving supply box.

[0010] Furthermore, the enclosure is square or nearly square, with a stage entrance in each direction.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner supports of the enclosure are in the shape of a cross, with the columns located at the intersection of the cross, and the inner supports of the enclosure divide the deck into four areas.

[0012] Furthermore, the platform accessories include platform handles, platform ladders, and handrail ropes.

[0013] Furthermore, in the initial state, the middle section of the operating rope extending out of the packaging bag is retracted into the receiving pocket of the packaging bag.

[0014] Furthermore, the packaging bag is made of a high-strength, wear-resistant, flexible, waterproof fabric material.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] When in use, the lifeguard throws the sealing bag to the water surface, pulls the part of the operating rope extending out of the sealing bag, drives the sealing bag to be unsealed, and the platform body and the lifesaving equipment box are exposed. The part of the operating rope connected to the high-pressure gas cylinder is pulled, and the high-pressure gas cylinder begins to inflate the enclosure rapidly, and the enclosure is unfolded and formed to provide buoyancy. Since the enclosure is a symmetrical structure up and down, it can be used normally no matter which side contacts the water surface, that is, the upper deck is used as a roof and the lower deck is for people to sit on. With the help of the boarding accessories, the personnel climb onto the boarding port and enter the platform body, and then use the manual inflation mechanism to inflate the columns and the inner support of the enclosure, which not only provides the enclosure with air, but also provides the enclosure with air. It provides internal support force and maintains the height of the enclosure, so it can provide a large internal space and accommodate more people at the same time. After the water bag is filled with water, it can provide a righting torque to improve the adaptability of the platform body to high sea conditions. The sea anchor can reduce the drift rate of the platform body and stabilize the drift direction. People can use the life-saving items in the life-saving item box to survive and wait for rescue in a relatively stable environment. When the temperature is low or it rains, the curtain can be closed to keep warm. When encountering other platform bodies or at the beginning, other platform bodies can be connected through connecting accessories. Multiple platform bodies are combined together to have a better wave-resistant effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
